To be companioned by a friendly soul,

To banish solitude into the dark

Expanse of deeply, distant, hidden shoals

And in its place, forgiveness placed his mark.

The bonded heart, a casket filled with tears.

Abandon thoughts of loneliness in graves.

Distress no longer sits outside your door.

Familiar faces sing duets, and they

Go off together, hand in hand. With you,

I am no longer fearful, but content.

A faithful confidant, my heart warms to

Your smile, my refuge, a safe shelter tent.

I once was in the wilderness alone,

But I have found comfort beneath the sand.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
